G.C.S. of Col from Kingaroy Area

When there was a veteran rally going I never had a bike to participate
in, so with a little bit of trading and dealing I came up with a 1914
Stillwell. A little bit rough around the edges but complete
from NSW. With 2 new guards and tyres and 6 months work I had
a veteran ready for testing. The belt ration was too high and
you had to be fit like Wally Lewis to get it to fire up so by lowering
the gear ration and a belt neutraliser for traffic lights for safety
reasons I got it under control. Just like an automatic drive,
the crank handle rear wheel starting saves my worn out knee caps and
the running boards make for comfortable motoring. Over the ten
years of use it has been very reliable and the 770cc JAP motor handles
most hills. After 60 years of motorcycling the 3rd national Veteran
rally held at Warwick I claimed it to be the best motorcycling that
I have had in my Life.
